Jiang Jie stuttered. "I-t w" but seemed to remember something that caused fear to flash in his eyes. Closing his mouth, he refused to answer."You won"t answer me?" Rong Xiaoman flicked her finger and Jiang Jie floated off the ground and hovered before her. "So troublesome, even though you"re sc.u.m you"re still little Ying"s father.. hurting you would make her sad."
Jiang Jie seemed to agree as he nodded his head desperately.
Qin Zhenzhen sneered and remarked. "Little brother...let alone hurt, this guy should be killed! He"s no father, all he thought of when he sold off Ying"er was how much he could benefit."
Rong Xiaoman frowned in thought, eventually her expression eased as she seemed to have thought of something. "I have an idea, a while ago Miss Fei taught me about basic medical knowledge. Like she would often say, "Knowledge is essential in living a long life as a cultivator"."
[I"ve been holed up in my room for years now so I"ve missed quite a few of Aunty Fei"s lessions.] Qin Zhenzhen thought as she turned her head with curiosity shining in her eyes. "Like what little brother?"
Jiang Jie listened intently, he had a very bad feeling.
Rong Xiaoman looked at Qin Zhenzhen and smiled faintly. "She taught me that the human body can survive losing several organs, this is especially true for cultivators..."
Turning her head back to Jiang Jie who seemed to be horrified about what he heard. "Little Ying would be very sad about any external injuries that she could see but what internal injuries big sister?"
Qin Zhenzhen became pale as she replied. "Little brother...that"s quite vicious, how would you do it?"
"Like this!" Rong Xiaoman closed her palm slowly causing a scream of pain to escape Jiang Jie"s lips.
"Ahhh!! Stop!" Jiang Jie"s expression twisted and scrunched as his shouts got louder until an audible pop resounded from his body.
Qin Zhenzhen gasped as she carefully observed what was happening, eventually she deduced that her little brother must be using those strange and unfathomable powers again.
"How was it old man? I just helped you get rid of that useless appendix of yours, aren"t I nice?" Rong Xiaoman"s lips curved with a hint of deviousness.
Jiang Jie bit his lip as a cold sweat ran down his cheek.
"Oh? Still not talking? Well that"s fine, let"s try something else.. " Rong Xiaoman gently closed her fist.
Immediately Jiang Jie stopped shaking and began to claw at his chest, his fingernails shredding his robe and leaving deep bleeding scratches on his skin. His throat tensed but no scream came out, only seconds later did he cough up a bright red organ as blood flowed from his lips.
"Little brother! Didn"t you say that you would leave his outer appearance alone? Look he"s all b.l.o.o.d.y now." Qin Zhenzhen commented nervously as she covered her eyes and peaked through the gaps.
Rong Xiaoman shook her head and replied. "He did it to himself, I have clear conscious." She picked up the crushed organ and chuckled. "Thank you for the lung donation, I"ll make sure it goes to a donor in need." Her fist proceeded to glow red as the lung disintegrated into ash.
Qin Zhenzhen was shocked, the horrendous scene before her left her shaken and uneasy. Although she despised Jiang Jie, she was still young sheltered girl who had never seen torture so close before. Only in the books and scrolls she read did she understand a little but compared to reality, it left her feeling nauseous.
Jiang Jie coughed up more blood before screaming in a hoa.r.s.e voice. "You fiend!" His skin was now pale and covered in a glistening sweat.
Rong Xiaomans eyes turned sharp, she was getting a little irritated now. She decided to give Jiang Jie an ultimatum. "Old man, if you don"t tell me where you sent Little Ying.." She raised her hand and cupped the air.
Jiang Jie squealed in fright as he felt an invisible force grab his nether regions.
Rong Xiaoman continued. "I"ll crush these to dust!"
Jiang Jie almost fainted as he quickly shouted. "NO!! Please! I"ll tell you!"
"Speak!" Rong Xiaoman demanded firmly as she tightened her grip.
"Argh!! She was sent over to the silent valley sect a few hours ago! She isn"t here anymore!" Jiang Jie cried out desperately.
"We were a few hours late.." Qin Zhenzhen said with a downcast expression.
"Where is the Silent Valley sect?" Rong Xiaoman asked.
"Mount Wusheng in the upper district, one of the largest mountains. It"s perpetually shrouded in a green fog so it"s easy to find." Jiang Jie replied desperately as he gradually gasped for breath, all the talking had made his newly acquired extreme shortness of breath apparent. The loss of his lung was beginning to show it"s consequences.
Rong Xiaoman frowned in thought. Looking at Jiang Jie skeptically, she asked. "What else are you hiding?"
Jiang Jie"s head hung low he took a short breath as he replied solemnly. "Be warned Qin boy, Young Master Dong Mu"s background is unfathomable...messing with him is death sentence so you have no chance at all."
Caution rose in Rong Xiaoman"s heart as various thoughts filled her mind. [Could this Dong Mu be from the upper realms? Maybe from a hidden sect?] She sighed and thought. [What does it matter, with my Mistress"s backing they will all be sent to oblivion.]
Rong Xiaoman snorted and replied. "No matter what power or backing this Dong Mu has...humph!"
She turned around and beckoned Qin Zhenzhen to come closer. "Big sister, hold onto me. It"ll be faster if we fly."
"You can fly little brother!? I thought only those at the nascent soul realm could fly?" Qin Zhenzhen cried out in astonishment, she walked over to her little brother and held Rong Xiaoman"s arm.
Qin Zhenzhen felt her little brother put his hand around her supple waist, pulling her in close. Her cheeks blushed furiously as she turned her face away to hide the embarra.s.sment.
"Let"s go." Rong Xiaoman muttered as her body began to glow with a red hue. She lifted off the ground slowly rising over thirty feet in the air.
Jiang Jie watched in shock. A myriad of emotions appeared on his pale face including helplessness, resentment and finally fear.
Rong Xiaoman"s body glowed brighter as power began to radiate from her body, it burned the air but to Qin Zhenzhen it felt like a warm summer breeze.
In a flash of light the two brother and sister disappeared and left a loud sonic boom which rattled Jiang Jie"s ears.
Qin Fei who was hiding nearby had an alarmed expression. "Too fast!! I won"t catch up in time!" She leapt up into the air and chased after Rong Xiaoman and Qin Zhenzhen.
